Bu this came through my email and I just thought it was such a great idea... I had to pop it on here. They have hit their "pledge" price but I found a couple of quid to donate anyway. (maybe they can do 2 teams?
As some of you may know, this campaign was inspired by the Olympics last year. Lucy was reading a copy of The Sun and noticed that the largest female image in the paper was the Page 3 image, larger than any of the pictures of Jessica Ennis who had just won Gold, or any other woman. She realized it had been that way for 43 years.
We think it’s sad that The Sun is a paper renowned for sport, yet rather than encourage girls and women to partake in sport it encourages them to take their clothes off for men.
Now, we have an exciting project we’d love to get underway. We’d like to sponsor a women’s football team. We feel it would be incredibly powerful to see women playing football and saying No More Page 3.
And it just so happens that Cheltenham Town Ladies FC are right behind us and are in need of a sponsor!
If we could raise £2025 we could be that sponsor! And they would play all their matches in a No More Page 3 emblazoned kit!
Can we do it? We don’t know! We have never crowd funded for anything before. But this is a project we believe in and if we do manage to raise the total, then we at No More Page 3 cannot wait to watch CTLFC and cheer and share the photos!
If you would like No More Page 3 to sponsor Cheltenham Town Ladies Football Club and you can spare even the smallest amount, then here is our Yimby Just Giving Page.
